My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 525 The Clash of Two Fierce Generals

They came to attack the Wild King.

Gao Yu knew that he did not intend to besiege Ye Wang's isolated city after taking over all the surrounding cities.

Instead, the goal was to capture Yewang as a stronghold, creating an opportunity for them to attack other cities north of the Yellow River and capture Yang Zhong, who was leading troops south from Jinzhou and Shuozhou, thus forming a pincer movement to attack the Hedong region.

Just because a city is isolated does not mean that the jungler can get support from other directions.

Erzhu Rong could not possibly stand idly by while Gao Yu attacked Ye Wang; he would certainly launch numerous raids.

A large-scale field battle is inevitable.

therefore……

Gao Yu had summoned back all the valiant cavalry generals, such as Gao Ang, from several other directions early on.

With Gao Yu's current resources, it is simply not enough to support him in launching large-scale city battles from multiple directions simultaneously.

As for Yang Zhong, he mainly focused on secretly contacting the powerful families and clans of Hedong, and never even considered sending troops.

Bingzhou is a region with mountains and rivers on both sides. The reason for sending the two Caos with troops there was purely to prevent Bingzhou troops from coming south to relieve the siege of Yewang.

The same is true of Hou Jing on the south bank of the Yellow River today.

It comes down to it.

Gao Yu did not have enough troops at his disposal.

Moreover, Gao Ang had hardly encountered any suitable opponents in Shangdang County before, and Hanoi was ultimately Gao Yu's main target, so Erzhu Rong left a large number of elite troops there.

Upon learning that Hebasheng was there, Gao Ang repeatedly sent messages to Gao Yu, requesting permission to join the battle and asking Gao Yu to transfer him there.

Now, Gao Ao's wish has finally come true!
With a powerful squeeze of his legs, Gao Ang spurred his horse to charge toward Hebasheng once more. Gao Ang was born with superhuman strength. He gripped the spear shaft tightly with both hands and wielded the long spear as if it were a fire poker, swinging it forcefully!
He ultimately caught Hebasheng off guard and gained the upper hand by striking first.

Hebasheng could only defend desperately.

clap clap.

The gun barrels clashed, producing a crisp sound. Each time they struck, the barrels would bend mechanically due to the excessive force.

The long spear is the same as the long lance.

The gun barrel wasn't made of hardwood. In a real head-on collision, if the gunhead pierced through the opponent, and the gun barrel was made of hardwood without enough 'flexibility' to cushion the impact, it would most likely break in the middle.

Surrounded by guards from both sides, just hearing that sound sent chills down my spine!

Every clash of gun barrels would have left an ordinary, valiant warrior with sore arms and exhausted strength.

Of course...

After withstanding the fierce first wave of attacks, Hebasheng gradually regained his rhythm, dodging attacks while maneuvering on horseback.

They can also take advantage of the gap in the high-priced adjustment.

He launched a beautiful counterattack, aiming straight for Gao Feng.

Gao Ang felt a cold glint flash before his eyes and instinctively turned his head to dodge, barely managing to avoid it.

Having missed his target, Hebasheng tried to retract his spear, but Gao Ang seized the opportunity, grabbed the shaft of the spear, and then tucked it under his arm.

Shout angrily!
"Ah! Come here!"

With bared teeth and glaring eyes, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, his entire face turning a visibly red.

Hebasheng would never easily let go of his weapon.

He also gripped the gun barrel tightly with both hands, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, his face flushed red. The two of them were locked in a constant struggle, circling around each other on horseback!
Just when I was most determined to succeed.

Hebasheng suddenly released his hands, and this release of force caught Gao Yang off guard. Gao Yang lost his balance and had no time to adjust!
"Die to me!!"

Without making any adjustments, Hebasheng took advantage of the moment when the force was released to draw his precious sword from his waist and slashed fiercely.

With a clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the sharp blade left a deep wound on the high-rising chest armor!
With a muffled groan, Gao Ang, like a wounded and raging beast, thrust out his long spear, the tip striking Hebasheng squarely in the shoulder.

The two horses immediately passed each other.

Despite the pain, Hebasheng took his long spear back.

The two men turned their horses around again and faced each other.

Gao Ang looked down at the wound on his chest, while Hebasheng frowned slightly and glanced at his left shoulder.

"Hahahaha!"

Gao Ang laughed loudly, "That was exhilarating! You little Xianbei brat, you're lucky. If I hadn't missed, you would have been dead long ago!"

Hebasheng retorted, not to be outdone, "If it weren't for your superior armor, you would have already become a dead man under my blade! How could you possibly have the chance to speak so arrogantly in front of me?"

"How dare you! Prepare to die!"

Gao Ang charged forward again on horseback.

Hebasheng was not to be outdone!

.....................

Gao Yang, limited by his age, was unable to overcome his physical limitations, no matter how talented he was.

The enemies he faced were all elites among elites!
"Damn it!"

Barely dodging the enemy's slashes, Gao Yang gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to swing his precious sword, slashing the enemy's neck and killing him instantly.

Almost completely exhausted, he took several deep breaths to regulate his breathing, trying to quickly regain his strength.

But the swarming enemy troops would not give him a chance to breathe!
The elite soldiers who crawled out of piles of corpses have incredibly sharp eyes and can accurately spot the real 'easy targets'!

Like a tiger hunting its prey, once it senses that the prey in front of it is tired or weak, it will seize the opportunity to 'pinch the weak persimmon'!
Immediately, a man rode up on horseback.

The long spear in his hand suddenly thrust forward. Gao Yang dodged, but his opponent gave him no time to adjust. Instead of retracting the spear, the opponent swept it horizontally, knocking Gao Yang off his horse!

Gao Yang felt a sudden dizziness and fell heavily to the ground. His internal organs felt as if they were churning, causing him to look pained and curl up in agony like a boiled shrimp. However, the cold, muddy ground quickly pulled him back to reality.

Upon seeing this, his bodyguards abandoned their fight with the enemy and rushed to his rescue.

But that enemy general showed no mercy.

He spurred his horse forward, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Gao Yang's face was filled with terror.

Damn...

Am I going to die here?

Snap!
A figure rushed over and deflected the long spear that was thrust at Gao Yang!

Seeing that someone had ruined his plans, the enemy general was furious. "Damn it! Does the general dare to give his name?"

"What kind of skill is it to bully the younger generation? Let me teach you a lesson!"

The man who came to the rescue didn't look very old; he was a teenager. He laughed loudly and introduced himself, "Remember, the one who killed you is Quan Jun!!"

Helianda was shocked, then overjoyed—this was an incredible achievement!
"Very well, very well, there really are people who have come to their deaths!"

Gao Yang disregarded his physical pain at this moment. Having just narrowly escaped death, his adrenaline surged wildly, driving him to frantically search for his warhorse. He scrambled onto its back, knowing that in such a chaotic situation, leaving the horse meant certain death.

The guards immediately surrounded him, completely sealing off his area.

Everyone was afraid that something might have really happened to Gao Yang.

The situation was chaotic; the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, both blinded by rage!

Hebasheng was still locked in a fierce battle with Gao Ang.

Wei Xiaokuan had already hurriedly ridden to his side and began to persuade him.

"General, let's order a retreat. We've been fighting here for so long, and the Wild King's reinforcements haven't arrived. He must be being held back by the Gao bandit army. If we retreat now, we can regroup and continue to harass the Gao bandit army."

"If we lose too many soldiers in this battle, we will really be able to watch helplessly as the Gao bandits besiege Yewang!"

"Furthermore, our army has been blocked here for a long time. Even if we manage to reach the enemy's army, they will surely be prepared. General, give the order!"

When they were dragged here.

This doomed their strategic intentions to fail.

Chi Lie Yanqing had agreed with them to quickly break through Gao Yu's outer defenses, and before Gao Yu could establish a firm foothold and set up camp, they would launch a fierce attack, destroy Gao Yu's supplies and siege equipment, and force Gao Yu to retreat.

It's no longer possible.

Hebasheng frowned, already engrossed in the fight, wishing he could continue battling Gao Ang until a victor emerged.

But Wei Xiaokuan shouted at him, waking him up.

"Hebasheng, you are the commander-in-chief of an army. How can you let your brothers who follow you die here in vain because of your own selfish reasons!"

"There will be plenty of opportunities to fight the enemy general again in the future!"

Hebasheng then came to his senses. He looked around and saw countless familiar faces lying on the ground, now cold corpses.

Continuing the fight would indeed be disadvantageous for him. They needed to preserve their strength on the periphery and continuously restrain Gao Yu, rather than engaging in a head-on confrontation with him.

He shouted angrily, "Pass on my order: retreat!"

quickly!

The messenger relayed his orders to the rear, and soon a series of crisp sounds of gongs and other metal objects being struck could be heard from there.

Upon hearing that familiar voice...

The soldiers of Hebasheng's army retreated immediately!

He also stopped getting entangled with the high price in front of him.

"You Xianbei brat, don't run away!!"

Gao Ang wanted to give chase, but was stopped by his personal guards.

because……

The same sound came from the rear of our own army formation.

Hebasheng suffered heavy losses, and Gaoyang was no less devastated; both sides paid a heavy price.

"General, we must not be rash. The Prime Minister only ordered us to guard the outer perimeter of the army and repel the invading enemy. He specifically emphasized that we must not pursue them recklessly."

If it were someone else's name, Gao Feng might not be willing to listen.

But upon hearing the title "Prime Minister," one realizes it's a title that doesn't belong to him.

Gao Yang, who was initially quite agitated, finally managed to calm down.

No one's name matters.

After all, Gao Gao only admired Gao Yu.

"That's fine."

Ang Gao looked down at the gruesome wound on his chest again, "I'll remember this grudge! Heba brat, you won't be so lucky next time we meet!!"

Both sides chose to withdraw their troops without prior agreement.

All that remained were corpses scattered on the ground and a large number of unclaimed horses, making it look extremely desolate.

What was originally pure white was now stained red with blood.
